How to afford building a house and buying land today?

if you had a real daredevil life now, flying to Vegas once a quarter with the guys to play poker and driving a Porsche to work. Okay, I get it. I can't afford that and I'd be a bit jealous of it.

but I bet a cookie that your life isn't cooler than mine, but I have a fat house - you don't.

At the end of the day, you park your money at 0.01% in the savings account because funds are too risky for you, and you still drive a 10-year-old car.

That's exactly how it looks. My wife and I also wanted to build in Berlin or in the surrounding area, but by now there is always a well-connected developer, general contractor, or broker involved, which really drives up the prices. After months of searching, we have now moved a bit further out and have actually still made a lucky find in terms of land.
